A Family Affair...

If you've enjoyed reading my posts, you should take the time to visit my daughter Rachel's blog which she calls Ra Ra's Everyday. http://www.raraseveryday.blogspot.com/ is the link. She has been through an ordeal this past 5 months that makes my story pale in comparison.

She's a lot like her old man: Tenacious. Not only did she give birth, last July, to her first child at age 33... she 'delivered' (better yet, was delivered from!) a rare malignant tumor in August. Going into surgery, she thought they were going to pull the plug on her 'baby incubator system."

Her story is nothing less than miraculous. You'll love the part, yesterday, where she was escorted into the 'bunker' with the 5 lasers and robotic radiation mechanical arms. I say, "Move over, Tom Cruz, 'cause Wonder Woman of San Diego is back in town!"

Today was her second day of radiation treatment that will continue every day until Dec 3rd. If you know how to pray, pray that her 'baby incubator' parts won't get zapped. She and Trevor really want to have more kids... I mean like next year. The treatment is precariously close to the oven, if you catch my drift.

So, pray like your life depended on it. (their next little one's life DOES depend on it) Thank you, Jesus, in advance. Like my dad use to say, "Howa-Woo-Yah - Aaa-men!"

The music plays: "Dunh. Dunh. Da-Dah. Dunh. Dunh. Da-Dah -- Dunh. Dunh. Dah Dah -- Dun. Dun, etc. Sounds like Mission POSSIBLE to me. Go Ra Ra. You go, girl.


In a future rant, I'll share with you the skivvy on our other daughter, Jenna Tunes. No, she's fine... and is the Rock in our family. She, her hubby Sam, and son Leo are an amazing trio. (with a bun in the oven who's name is Tesla Tunes - that makes a quartet, thank you very much.)

Sounds like I'm going to have to write some new songs and 'Tunes' for my grandkids, Leo, Vida and Tesla. I'm sure there's a melody in there somewhere. Let's see, Tesla Tunes...sounds like a Beach Boys car song... you know, "...and she'll just Hum, Hum, Hum, 'till her daddy takes the Tesla away."

I love this family.

PS...
(watch out, here comes a sales pitch) Speaking of tunes, when you get a chance, and if you have iTunes on your computer, go to the iTunes store, search "Ken Miller One by One". You'll find 17 motivational songs I wrote and produced in the early 90's for a large sales organization. They have catchy melodies and are written more like jingles than most songs. Although they were written for adults, I find the kids love them even more. My favorite is "I Can Fly" Check them out (after you read Ra Ra's blog)

PPS...
(and you know that PPS is a heck of a lot better than PMS) If you'd like to hear what my voice sounded like before Parkinsons, listen to the song titled "Changes". It's the only one of the 17 where I held the microphone. (Be Afraid)

See Ya. Gonna go to sleep now, my meds are kickin' in... faaaaaaaaaadinnnnnnggg fassssssst
